Petition For Daikatana Sequel Started 43

Posted by simoniker on Friday May 23, 2003 @10:42AM from the superfly-johnson-gonna-take-you-higher dept.

Thanks to Blues News for pointing to this online petition demanding a sequel to Daikatana. Reasons for wanting a follow-up to John Romero's infamous PC FPS include the fact that "Daikatana's former notoriety has left many people with a feeling of nostalgia for the days leading to the game's completion." Some of comments attached to the 37 current signatures also add insight, including Attila Houtkooper's comment - "Daikatana has changed my life, I need Daikatana 2 to change it back the way it was!"

So where's the on-line petition to prevent there from being a Daikatana 2? :)

  Indeed. There should never have been an Outpost 2, nor a Clock Tower 2, or Clock Tower 3, or an E.T., for that matter.
  Where is the John Romero we knew? The Doom 2 John Romero whom you could grovel in front of (and then shoot with your rocket launcher)?
  I think what motivates these nostalgic people mentioned in the article is that same college-years nostalgia that causes people to watch Xanadu and Dagon.

    Oh... the nonstop, nocongruent[sic] hours wasted playing Outpost 2. "Wow, I have some memories about Outpost 2!" An hour later, after install, "MORAL IS TERRIBLE"... 10 seconds later, "THIS GAME IS CRAP!"...
    
    Now... Diakatana is the one game that I will NEVER install.... EVER... Damn Frog Wonderland.

      At some point in time, there was an ad saying 'John Romero wants to make you his bitch!' Personally, I thought Stevie Case had already applied for that position.
      
      It was just part of the massive amounts of trash talking that was slung in the overlong run up to the game. He was so full of himself, and then managed to sell a pile of dung only slightly less bad than Black and White.

Which is more likely?

a) Sequel to Daikatana

b) Duke Nukem Forver

I highly doubt either will happen in my lifetime. Although, I am pretty out-of-shape, and I smoke... ;)

  Terra Nova [3dgamers.com] was another of their excellent games, I'd love a sequel to it, first FPS game I played with a decent, involved storyline (had just about everything, pirates, turncoats, Earth coming to destroy us), it was also pretty graphically excellent at the time, you could go from medoicre 320x240 to breathtaking 320x400!

I would understand if this was a petition to have John Romero dipped in alcohol and dragged naked over broken glass until he agreed to personally apologize to everyone who purchased this game and send a sympathy card to people who played the demo. But a petition to do a sequel? Are these people masochists?

There are plenty of other things these guys can do with their time:
- Buy some other $5 game in EB's bargain bin.
- Play Daikatana to remember what it was really like.
- Join an order of self-flagellating monks.
